Under the navigation, click on 3DMotion you'll see there are two rows of 6 movie images, that is exactly what I want displayed on the Illustrations nested div, make sense ?It just annoys me that everything I say doesn't seem to make sense to anyone, some things are a easy comparison that is why I mention to look at another part of my page then I described the difference. I think sometimes people don't want to understand, I know I'm not speaking a tribe language.

Poor Paul, you of all people ! :lol:

Dear OP, are you a sheep in a wolf's clothes? (Reason: The Creative Sheep = SiberianHuskey)

I think we can all agree Paul is definitely not one of those that doesn't want to understand. The way I see it, you are defining your ideas as you go along, you don't have a precise plan. That makes you sound undecided and confused.

This is how your page looks like. Can you make some sense out of it to let us know what the end result you're after looks like? Use less words, make something like a website wireframe. You should definitely have one by now

It just annoys me that everything I say doesn't seem to make sense to anyone, some things are a easy comparison that is why I mention to look at another part of my page then I described the difference.Yes, and when you look back at other segments of your page that we have helped you with you will find the answer there. On that page that seems to be working better you did not set a width on #ThreeDMot.

I think sometimes people don't want to understand, I know I'm not speaking a tribe language. It's not that we don't want to understand, I think you share a part in that as well. We have told you many times to stop setting fixed dimensions on elements that contain fluid content. I tried to teach you about the box model over a year ago, that margins and paddings must be accounted for in the overall dimensions. I gave you links to pages within the SitePoint CSS Reference for you to read but you never made time for it and this is the result. I had told you that you would never be able to move forward until you understood the basic principles.

The problem with that current page is that you set a width on the parent div (#Illus_3D) and you set left margins on it and the ul.

It just annoys me that everything I say doesn't seem to make sense to anyone,

This is what you said in post #1:

I need some help on how to align the images you see in UL#Gallery so there are six at the top and six at the bottom with whatever left over just below. (link)

And now you say this:

[QUOTE=SiberianHuskey;4814818]Under the navigation, click on 3DMotion you'll see there are two rows of 6 movie images, that is exactly what I want displayed on the Illustrations nested div, make sense ?

Why didn't you say that in post #1. We're not mind readers. Your original post makes no sense as it reads.

some things are a easy comparison that is why I mention to look at another part of my page then I described the difference.

No you didn't you said nothing of the sort you only said this:

I need some help on how to align the images you see in UL#Gallery so there are six at the top and six at the bottom with whatever left over just below. (link)

I think sometimes people don't want to understand, I know I'm not speaking a tribe language.

From the amount of help I have given you I find that extremely rude and condescending and is certainly not the way to go about getting more help.

The comment was not specifically at Paul, although it's easy to see how one could take it at them. I have a precise vision on how I want the page to look, if I didn't I wouldn't know how I want it to look. It's in the right direction it may read as though I'm changing every other day but that's not true.

Rayzur - The links you gave to me on positioning I did read them, and I do have a more stronger understanding of positioning and margins and the flow of things, I see what the problem was as you mentioned a fixed height and width, something I honestly didn't know. I would like to know why the background image in the ID#ThreeDMot is not showing up ?

Everyone has been rude once, if Paul or other users want to hold a grudge against me, then there just gonna have to.

In your threads, much time is spent by members attempting to establish what your aims are. Therefore, why not create a reference page on your server describing your project in as much detail as possible: visual mockups, what has been done so far and what remains to be done. When you start a new thread, include a link to the page. Make a checklist of elements that need to be worked on and mark them as done as they are completed.

Helpers will then be able to gain an overview of your project and things may run more smoothly.

Please don't paint yourself as a victim of potential ill feeling. To suggest that anyone should "hold a grudge" against you is a groundless assertion that suggests you assume immaturity in others. It's an unwise opinion to state publicly, as it may be seen as saying more about you than anyone else.

If you know of a forum more consistently tolerant than Sitepoint, let us know.

I'd have to set something like this up, for future project excluding my current project.

It's because your floated list-items are not being contained in the UL.The UL height has collapsed to "0" so it's parent (#ThreeDMot) also has no height.

Do yourself a favor and set your CSS up in a logical order that follows the same flow as your html. When I originally set that CSS up for you I had done that, as time has gone by it has become scattered. Logically speaking the footer styles should be at the end of your css, they are somewhere around the middle now.

Now flip them around and let them flow like the html. If it helps you to see what's going on then indent the child styles.

Keep things as consistent as you can, for example: use the same left margin that you used above on #Illus_3D or make them both the same. It's all about getting past that fixed position div coming up from the bottom of the page.

Choose either 268px or 220px or something in between, but keep the left margins the same on #Illus_3D and #ThreeDMot for consistency
